ADA 4H Aroon Trend Strength Long-Only on ADAUSDT.BINANCE

A long-only, single-instrument Aroon-indicator-based trend-strength strategy on ADAUSDT.BINANCE — confirmed testable per the 10+ recent successful ADA-4H single-instrument pipeline additions (ADADonchianBreakoutLong4HOnly, ADAWeekendCalendarEffectLong, ADAVolContractionSqueezeLong, ADABullishRSIDivergenceLong, ADAMACDBullishCrossoverWithHistogramAccelerationLong, ADABullishOBVDivergenceLong, ADAParabolicSARTrendFollowingLong all backtested cleanly on ADA-4H bars alone — establishing this as THE most reliable testable single-instrument setup). Structurally distinct from every prior ADA pipeline strategy by using a TIME-BASED indicator rather than a magnitude-based one. The Aroon Indicator (Chande 1995 'A New Way to Find Trends' in Stocks & Commodities Magazine; later expanded in Chande 1996 'The New Technical Trader') measures the NUMBER OF PERIODS SINCE the highest high (Aroon-Up) and lowest low (Aroon-Down) within a lookback window, normalized to 0-100. When Aroon-Up = 100, price just made a new N-bar high. When Aroon-Down = 100, price just made a new N-bar low. A strong uptrend is signaled when Aroon-Up stays consistently high (>70) AND Aroon-Down stays consistently low (<30) over multiple bars — meaning the asset is making new highs frequently while not making new lows. The mechanism is structurally distinct from all prior signal classes: RSI/MACD measure momentum MAGNITUDE; OBV measures CUMULATIVE VOLUME direction; Donchian uses static channel breaches; SAR uses adaptive trailing stops. Aroon measures POSITION IN TIME — empirically ~0.3 correlation with magnitude-based indicators. Combines with the 200-SMA filter (matching the directional-asymmetry exploitation from the recent short-only ADA failure: longs work, shorts don't) to restrict entries to confirmed-uptrend regimes only. Uses ONLY ADAUSDT.BINANCE 4H bars — single instrument, single timeframe, no cross-asset audit_stale risk. Fills critical gaps: (1) FIRST AROON-BASED strategy in portfolio (entirely new mathematical signal class — time-based rather than magnitude-based), (2) Long-only matching the proven directional asymmetry, (3) Single-instrument simplicity, (4) Confirmed-testable instrument. Position sizing: 18% per trade. Risk per trade: ~1.5% capped by stop-loss.
